- African_textiles abstract "The earliest surviving sub-Saharan African textiles were discovered at the archaeological site of Kissi in northern Burkina Faso and date to the first centuries CE. They are made of wool or fine animal hair in a weft-faced plain weave pattern. Further cloth fragments and parchment fragments date to the ninth century CE from sites at Igbo Ukwu of the Igbo people of Nigeria. A considerable amount of cotton and wool textiles (clothes, shrouds and accessoires) has been preserved in the Tellem caves in Mali, dating mainly to the eleventh to thirteenth centuries CE. Some fragments have also survived from thirteenth century Benin City in Nigeria.African textiles are a part of African cultural heritage that came to America along with the slave trade. As many slaves were skilled in the weaving, this skill was used as another form of income for the slave owner.In most of Africa the weavers were men while the women spun the thread. The weavers in many of the countries were part of a caste-like group and sometimes slaves to noble families. In Yoruba compounds were used where master weavers would teach all the boys weaving and all the girls would learn to spin and dye the yarn. And children did some jobs too, like providing fabric and also weaved at a very young age of 4.Some examples of African textiles are:Akwete cloth -woven by Igbo peopleUkara dyed indigo cloth by Igbo peopleAso oke fabric - woven by Yoruba peopleAdire- tie-dye produced by Yoruba peopleKente cloth - woven by Ashanti and Ewe peopleBarkcloth - produced by the Buganda tribeMudcloth- produced by the Bambara tribeKitenge - produced from Kenya and other regions of East AfricaShweshwe – produced in South Africa↑ ↑".
